The objective of the TMIP VMTSC office session is to provide a forum for real-time discussion of various travel modeling related topics. Each one-hour office session is based upon questions posted to the VMTSC website or asked during the course of the one-hour office session. The office hours are designed to promote technical exchange and provide wider opportunities for new travel demand modelers to gain knowledge from experienced modelers.
